Dining in the Dark is an event that will heighten four of your five senses. Enjoy a fun, out-of-your-comfort-zone experience while dining in a whole new way.

Psychologists have been advocating dining in the dark as the ultimate taste experience for many years. Studies show that 80% of people eat with their eyes; with that sense eliminated, the theory is that the other senses—namely taste and smell—take over to elevate your meal to a whole new level. After donning your blindfold in the darkened room, you’ll soon realize that focusing on taste and smell alone can be a truly enlightening experience—provided you’re not afraid of the dark!

Chef Jack Page will be creating a delicious four-course meal designed to stimulate the palate and challenge your sense of smell and taste. A cash bar will be available with a cocktail hour beginning at 6 pm and dinner will begin at 7 pm.

Dietary restrictions can be accommodated with advance notice. Please indicate any restrictions by emailing [email protected] no later than seven days before the event.
